We had the best day with Kadir. He was extremely knowledgable and explained everything in understandable terms. Kadir knew everybody in town - it was like getting a tour by the mayor! I highly recommend tours with Kadir.
We loved our tour with Kadir exploring the history of the Jewish people in Istanbul. We would never have been able to see so many places without him and it was obvious that he has a warm relationship with the people at every stop. It was the highlight and heart of our trip.
We very much enjoyed our tour with Kadir. He is very knowledgeable, his English is excellent and he also gave us general information about Istanbul. I highly recommend him.
Kadir is an excellent guide. He was very flexible and accommodating to our needs as we are a family traveling with a 9 year old. He kept our son engaged the whole time and there was lots of great history provided.
We had a super inspirational food tour with a great guide.. totally amazing even though there was heavy rains We all loved Ayfer and her entusiasm
The tour was everything and more than expected. We shared a love for history and photography. Kadir showed us sites that only a well-known guide has assess to. He is so pleasant, informed, patient, and committed to making his clients exceedingly happy. Kadir is the best of the best.
I am writing a mystery trilogy set in the 16th century. Book 2 in Istanbul. As we walked through Galata and Balat, Kadir answered all our questions about life in these districts with such verve: who lived there, how did they live, etc. Even better, he brought the past to life with his deep knowledge and enthusiasm. A great guide and a warm, wonderful person.
A heritage tour with Kadir is not to be missed. Kadir made it interesting, with his attention to detail and history. We would have never seen Istanbul the same, without him. We hope to visit Türkiye again, a truly worthwhile experience.
We loved our tour with Benoit! We loved being taken up ‘secret’ staircases for amazing views and visits with local artisans! Benoit took us for the best baklava, best lemonade, found my daughter an incredible vegan meal and and excellent restaurant for the rest of us. We loved seeing Istanbul like a local!
Benoit is am amazing tour guide, his knowledge of Istanbuls Underground cisterns, The Palace Foundations, where all the hidden gems of this city are is incredible. He knows all the History of Romans the Ottoman Empire and more....I met and chatted with local craftsman, as we wandered through the labyrinth of lanes. The tour far surpassed my expectations,I highly recommend doing it !!
